I would like to highly recommend Dr. Toby Broussard at the weightwise clinic in
Edmond. I personally know 5 patients who drive from my hometown in eastern Oklahoma to Edmond to see Dr. Broussard. He gives you his home phone number on your first visit. Dr. B really cares about his patients.

Topic: How to start when on medicaid. Pleas help!

I am extremly desperate to lose weight but I only have medicaid. I asked my doctor and he wanted to start the process but he did not know what to do. He said he found out that I have to have the same doctor for 5 years. I have only had him for three. I tried to lose the waight on my own. Lost over 50 lbs and I can't seem to continue losing. I am 400 lbs now and so worried about my health. I can not wait another two years to start the process. Can anyone help me, Please? I am in Tulsa ok. is their any support groups for people going through this? I don't know what to do.

My insurance only approved Norman Regional for my surgery even though I live in the Tulsa area so they kinda chose for me. However, Dr. Keith is a very skilled and reliable surgeon. He also has a great dietary team. My only complaint is after surgery you mainly never get to see him again unless you have a major problem. Otherwise you are scheduled with his PA, Winter who I haven't really cared for. I also had to see her for my last preop appt before surgery. I still would recommend Dr. Keith and I am moving my continued followup care back to the Tulsa area.

Topic: RE: Reboot Diet?

I have an appointment w/Chris this Tues (21st) for the re-boot. Yeah, like you JE I am somewhat ashamed to go, but want to nip the old habits creeping back in before it gets totally out of control. I am excited. Can you share what they did? Thanks, Michael

Thank you so much for the thumbs up! I haven't chosen a physician yet. Why did you choose Dr. Keith? I'm only an hour from Norman which would be good travel wise.

Ditto everything Leah said

We all have proven to ourselves over and over again that obesity is a real disease and diets are not the cure. But WLS can be the tool that gives us the edge we need to a successful journey to better health.
